Chuan-Fu Lin joined the faculty of the School of Engineering’s Department of Mechanical Engineering as an Assistant Professor in August 2019. Before he joined CUA, he was a research faculty member at the University of Maryland, College Park since 2017. One of Dr. Lin’s research directions is to develop next-generation energy storage systems through materials innovations and integrations to deliver lower-cost, and eco-friendly energy storage technology for electronics, electric vehicles, and micro-grids. Besides, he also investigates materials properties (mechanical, electrical, electrochemical) of newly synthesized materials. Dr. Lin is the founder and the director of the “Materials Innovation Laboratory for Energy and Advanced Manufacturing”, to work on developing novel materials for the broad fields of engineering, emphasizing on the energy and manufacturing challenges. Dr. Lin has been collaborated with several major battery manufacturers, and with other research groups nationally and internationally. And his research has been supported by Department of Energy, and National Science Foundation.
